That time I sold bespoke merchandise to pay for a head scan

Hey there, you!

Have you ever wanted an author to write something just for you? Maybe a friend of yours needs a bit of a pick-me-up, or perhaps you're in the midst of an epic prank war. You could need something cheery or a set of affirmations for misanthrope. Who knows why anyone needs anything?

Well, friend, today is your day because I, an official Writer And Author by trade, am selling bespoke notes for all occasions!

(This, of course, is in no way because I live in the land of capitalist medicine and need to raise a fair amount of funds in the next month or so in order to live, natch.)

All you needed to do is fill out this Google form in which you tell me a bit about what you want me to write and for whom. There is also, critically, a question about whether this should be safe to display at work. Then pay me whatever you think that is worth at venmo linda-tirado-3 or PayPal bootstrapindustries@gmail and I will use a fancy nib and ink and everything to make all your dreams come true, assuming your dreams fit onto a standard letter sized paper!

Please do consider this if you can, because I am a huge fan of things like breathing and as we all know, ain't nothing for free in these glorious States.

Tomorrow: some words about how one finds one's place in the world, and what market value really means when it's a person you're putting on that actuarial table
